Gusts of moderate and large magnitude induce flow separation and other complexities when
they interact with the lifting surfaces of air vehicles. The presence of these nonlinear gusts …

There is a growing desire to operate Uncrewed Air Vehicles (UAVs) in urban environments
for parcel delivery, and passenger-carrying air taxis for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). The …

We present a publicly accessible database specifically designed to aid in the conception,
training, demonstration, evaluation, and comparison of reduced-complexity models for fluid …

The encounter between micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) and gusts is often detrimental and
mitigating the effects of the gust is important for operating MAVs under severe environmental …

This paper investigates the effect of wingtip bending morphing on gust-induced
aerodynamics based on the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) method at Re= 40 000. First, an …

UNSTEADY flow conditions experienced in wing–gust encoun-ters have been the focus of
many experimental and computational studies [1–6]. Wing–gust encounters have been …

Inspired by the stability achieved by biological flapping-winged fliers in gusty environments,
we conducted particle image velocimetry studies on the interactions between plunging …

Abstract The Andrew Fejer Unsteady Wind Tunnel was modified to add a suction duct on top
of the test section to generate a vertical velocity component (cross flow). The suction …

We present a data-driven feedforward control to attenuate large transient lift experienced by
an airfoil disturbed by an extreme level of discrete vortex gust. The current analysis uses a …
